Elected Leaders

SPFE’s Executive Board and officers are responsible for directing the affairs and setting the strategic direction of our union. The President of SPFE acts as the organization’s chief executive officer and presides over the Executive Board. Assisting the President are other union officers: Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, and the Director of Non-Licensed Staff, representing Educational Assistants and School and Community Service Professionals.

The Executive Board is comprised of 18 elected members and up to three members appointed by the President. Terms for officers and the Executive Board last two years and are staggered.
